TEST 4 LEC Flashcards
what makes up the upper respiratory system
- nose
- nasal cavity
- sinuses
- pharynx
what makes up the lower respiratory system
- larynx
- trachea
- bronchi
- bronchioles
what are the smallest bronchioles
alveoli
main function of the respiratory system
exchange gases across a mmb
what kind of cell lines the respiratory tract
pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium
air is inhaled into the nasal cavity through _____ _____
external nares
what does the nasal conchae produce
turbulent air
Passageway shared by digestive and respiratory systems
pharynx
what are the 3 regions of the pharynx from top to bottom
- nasopharynx
- oropharynx
- laryngopharynx
larynx
cartilaginous structure
what does the larynx surround/protect
glottis and vocal cords
flexible tube supported by c shaped tracheal cartilages that protect airway
trachea
functions of tracheal muscle
- adjust diameter of trachea
which bronchial tree is bigger
right
which bronchial tree is less in line with trachea
left
trachea that branches into left and right and enter into the lungs
primary bronchi
trachea that continues to branch into lungs from left and right sides
secondary and small bronchi
what do bronchi branch into
bronchioles
what causes bronchodilation
sympathetic activation
what causes bronchoconstriction
Parasympathetic activation
what part of the bronchial tree is related to asthma
bronchioles
what is in alveolar sacs
alveoli
what is the purpose of the surfactant
keeping the alveolus to the correct size
what 2 things form a thin mmb that facilitates gas exchange
alveolar wall and capillary wall
protected by rib cage; extend from 1st rib to the diaphragm, a dome- shaped muscle
lungs
what fluid is in the lungs
pleural fluid
2 functions of the pleural cavity
- lubricates surface of lung
- keeps lungs expanded
outer pleura in lungs
parietal pleura
inner pleura in lungs
visceral pleura
Common name for pulmonary ventilation
breathing
where does external respiration happen
in lungs
gas exchange across respiratory mmb
external respiration
transport through blood
gas transport
gas exchange across cell mmb
internal respiration
where does internal respiration occur
in tissues
Boyle’s law
volume and pressure and inversely related
when pulmonary pressure decreases below atm pressure are you inhaling or exhaling
inhaling
when the pulmonary pressure increases above atm pressure are you inhaling or exhaling
exhaling
what is the primary breathing muscle
diaphragm
tidal volume (TV)
amount of air into and out of your lungs during a respiratory cycle
amount of air you exhale after a normal expiration
expiratory reserve volume (ERV)
inspiratory reserve volume (IVR)
amount of air you inhale after a normal inspiration
max amount of air you can move in and out of your lungs
vital capacity (VC)
residual volume (RV)
amount of air remaining in your lungs after a maximal exhalation
total volume of air your lungs
total lung capacity (TLC)
control the rate and depth of breathing
pons
medulla oblongata
controls inspiratory and expiratory muscles
what is respiratory activity mainly controlled by
CO2
what is happening when CO2 increases
your body hyperventilates
what is happening when CO2 decreases
your body hypo-ventilates
inflammation of bronchial tubes due to combination of environment and genetics that is not well understood
asthma
bronchitis and break down of tissue causing shortness of breath and sputum production; leading cause is smoking
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD):`
functions of the digestive system
- ingestion,
- digestion,
- secretion,
- absorption
- compaction of food material
location of digestive tract
extends from mouth to anus

liver
anterior roof of bone
hard palate
soft palate
posterior roof of soft tissue
skeletal muscle for manipulation
tongue
teeth
mechanical digestion
- increases surface area for digestive enzymes
- process of chewing
Mastication
what starts the beginning of chemical digestion
salivary glands
what is the main enzyme that comes out of salivary glands
amylase
where does food go after the mouth
esophagus
inner most layer of the digestive tract
mucosa
outer most layer of the digestive tract
submucosa
outer layer of smooth muscle
muscular externa
what moves the bolus to stomach
peristalsis
where does food go after the esophagus
Stomach
chyme
bolus mixed with gastric juices
cardia
where the esophagus meets stomach
